Instant upgrade: Man United set sights on exciting £48m La-liga star transfer to replace Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford will need to be replaced by Manchester United, and it appears they have identified the perfect candidate who would undoubtedly be an improvement.

Following a lot of rumors that his time at Old Trafford might be coming to an end, Rashford has now stated that he is prepared to quit Manchester United.

Early in his tenure as manager, new manager Ruben Amorim made a significant choice by leaving the England international out of the Red Devils’ roster for their match against Manchester City this weekend.

Fabrizio Romano discloses Manchester United’s “private” Ruben Amorim problem. United supporters will likely concur that a change is needed because Rashford’s performance has been much below average for more than a year.

It seems United also have an exciting target in mind to come in on that left-hand side to replace Rashford, with Spanish outlet Fichajes claiming Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams is in their sights.

Williams has looked like one of Europe’s top attacking talents in recent times, with the Spain international lighting up Euro 2024 in the summer as he played a starring role in his country’s victory in the tournament.

The 22-year-old is now surely ready to make the step up to a bigger club, and it would be exciting to see him in the Premier League.

Blessed with great skill on the ball and an eye for goal, Williams looks like just what Amorim needs to improve this struggling United side in attack.

Fichajes note that Williams has a €58m (£48m) release clause, which means he’s also surely one of the more affordable options on the market at the moment.

Williams has also been linked with Arsenal and other top clubs in recent times, but it would surely be hard to say no if an historic side like United came in with an offer
